“Jacqueline was great with Harper and stayed with her for a week while we were on vacation. She gave me frequent updates and I was comfortable that Harper was well taken care of while we were gone!”
“Bethany was wonderful for our first time working with her! She was a great communicator and sent lots of photos and updates while we were away, which we really appreciated. She did everything we asked and we came home to a clean house and happy pets. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands :)”
“Kathleen was amazing!! She took great care of Charlie and sent me pictures and updates to ease my mind! Would definitely recommend and plan on using her from now on”
“Lux did a fantastic job watching my senior pup while I was away. He kept in touch daily with updates & photos to show my dog was in good hands. He was also flexible to accommodate my living situation & my dog’s needs. AND he left my place spotless after — so nice to come home to that!! Would definitely book again!”
“Andrew was very accommodating and was very great at communication. He was timing and treated our dogs just as his own. You can definitely trust him with your dogs & home! We will be using Andrew again for future sittings!”
“Jared was great with our two crazy puppies and all of our other animals. Sent lots of pictures, I could tell the dogs loved him. Gave us peace of mind during our trip. He also had a great doughnut recommendation for our destination!”
“Had a great experience with Christina. We have a puppy and he can be a little demanding and is very energetic. She did great with him and gave him the care we needed while away. She also kept the house nice and clean. Definitely appreciated that. Hope to be able to use her again.”
“Corrine was excellent! This was my first time using a dog sitter, so I was apprehensive about leaving my dogs. She quickly put my mind at ease with lots of communication and pictures. She was punctual and followed my instructions while being loving and attentive to my dogs. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I highly recommend Corrine.”
About: I have experience pet sitting for friends and neighbors since high school and would love caring for your pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a job but my time is very flexible due to me being an on demand worker! I am able to stay for as long as you need and do many walks I am good with following whatever routine your dog might have including feeding, walking, playing, fresh water ect. As for my pets I have 3 sweet cats and 1 dog who I love spending time with. They are very happy and loved.
About: I have been an animal owner and lover my entire life. I have cared for dogs, cats, and even chickens! I am to keep your fur babies, happy, healthy, and comfortable. I am practically free in the mornings and anytime after 7 most days. Weekends are also free so call me up for some last minute help! I love my animals and have them around all the time. We take them on walks frequently, let them run outdoors, have plenty of play time and don’t forget snuggles!
About: We had three dogs growing up. I’ve had three of my own as well. I am currently the go to sitter for my best friend’s dog. I’ve cared for dogs in extreme health situations/have seen just about everything. I’m great with dogs/love spending time with them. I also work remotely and am available to come and pet sit. I am open to potentially boarding, but I would have to talk to my landlords first. I work from home, with two thirty minute breaks. I do not start until 10:30 and can do morning walks or feeding. I’m off at 6:30 and can do evening walks or feeding as well. I’ve had a full range of experience caring for my dogs over the years. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding and basic grooming. I also have experience with a wide variety of medications and have no problem giving supplements or medication at your direction. Since I work remotely, as long as there is some desk space to set up and Internet service, I can stay over any day of the week if needed. I consider myself a good communicator and am happy to send updates or answer any questions you may have.
“Courtney was awesome! She took great care of not only our dog, but also our home. She was extremely respectful of our property, left the sheets and towels washed and folded for us, did her dishes and put them back where she found them, and left our house exactly as she found it, if not in even better condition. Our dog even started to have an upset stomach while we were gone, and she reached out immediately to let us know and took steps to make sure he was taken well care of, as if he was her own dog. We got pictures every day with updates, and the meet and greet beforehand showed how enthusiastic and caring Courtney is. We came home to handwritten notes, and I feel so confident that my dog was truly cared for while I was away. Courtney is a real gem, and we will not hesitate to reach out to her again the next time we need a sitter. I highly recommend Courtney to anyone!”
“Missy is an absolute angel and spoiled my babies! She not only took such great care of my dogs, but my house and I felt safe knowing she was here taking care of things. She's an excellent communicator and really went above and beyond. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Alyssa was great with our two Aussies while we were on vacation. She was very communicative throughout the stay and made sure they got all the attention they wanted/needed. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking with her again!”
“Madeleine was wonderful! We’re so grateful for the care she gave Leia while we were away. It means so much to have someone we feel comfortable trusting with our girl. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a Trauma ICU nurse, I’m naturally attentive, dependable, and calm under pressure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I love being active and especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, exploring parks, and getting them outside for plenty of exercise and playtime. I’m also happy to help with feeding, medications, and maintaining their usual routine. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates along the way so you never have to wonder how they’re doing! As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off and plenty of flexibility for pet care! On my days off, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays. My work schedule varies week to week, but I know my schedule in advance and keep my availability updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. In your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are always secure. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages while your pet is in my care
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I dog sit for my aunt all of the time and I care for my sisters dogs often.

I’m not working anywhere at the moment, I am a full time nursing student. I have classes two times a week ( Mondays and Wednesdays) and I have clinical once a week currently. I live in a condominium community; there isn’t a yard per say however there is plenty of space to walk your dog outside in the fresh air!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside Park
I cannot say enough about Laura! She is absolutely amazing. We got pictures and videos everyday and she treated her home as if it was her own. No doubt in our minds that we will be using Laura EVERY SINGLE TIME we are out of town. Thank you Laura. You mean the world to us. We are so thankful to have found you.
Kaitlynn was amazing!! She sent photos of our pets every single day and kept us well up to speed with everything going on (even the little things happening randomly throughout the day). When we got back home from our trip, the house was practically spotless. The only drawback to going on vacations for us is the anxiety of leaving our pets behind but with Kaitlynn, it was the first time we've gone on a trip and had total peace of mind. I cannot recommend her enough!!
Adam was fantastic with my pups! Adam was very communicative, he was able to give my big guy his meds, spent plenty of time with them, and took them for walks! He kept me updated through his stay which I appreciated greatly. Highly recommend Adam and I will definitely book him again in the future!
Kristen was wonderful housesitting and caring for our senior dog whose food/med routine has gotten a bit complex in recent months. She did everything we needed to be sure our girl was well cared for, cared about the details to be sure Luna was as comfortable and happy as possible, and communicated well with any questions or concerns. Would love to have her take care of Luna again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lakeside Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lakeside Park is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,235 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lakeside Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lakeside Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lakeside Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lakeside Park choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lakeside Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
